2007 Dual Core Battle : Intel Wolfdale vs AMD Antares
VR-Zone has posted a news story on Intel's Wolfdale and AMD's Antares CPU

Intel plans to counter 65nm AMD "Antares" dual core processor with their 45nm "Wolfdale" dual core processor based on Penryn core architecture in Q3 '07. Wolfdale will contain 6MB of shared L2 cache compared to 512KB dedicated L2 per core (1MB total) and 2MB shared L3 on the Antares. It seems like 45nm Penryn architecture is highly scalable and it will get Intel back into the MHz race next year.

SteelSound 5H V2 Gaming Headset Review
APH Networks has posted a review on the SteelSound 5H V2 Gaming Headset

With the advancement of gaming peripherals in the PC gaming industry, there are now several products designed specifically for this kind of recreation that exists as more or less a "standard" accessory. If it's not a high-end cloth or plastic mousepad, then it is a pair of headphones that accompanies you against your opponents as the latest 3D graphics flashes across your computer monitor. Interestingly, if you don't want to be the one yelling "BS" as loud as you can into either virtual nothingness or your mic if you have one, chances are that it's not just 'any' set of headphones that will complete the tasks you want. The SteelSound 5H V2's predecessor, the SteelSound 5H, already showed us a good definition of what 'cheating' without cheats mean. However, its comfort level is well left behind; enough for the Everglide s-500 to pull its weight and win over the SteelSound 5H in this section. How well will the second generation of this gaming headset perform? Read our review over at APH Networks Reviews and let's find out.

X-MICRO X-VDO MP4 F610 Player Review
3D Game Man posted a review on the X-MICRO X-VDO MP4 F610 Player

This product has tremendous value, because you get a lot of features at a very affordable price. You can watch video, listen to music, display photos, there's a built in FM tuner, a voice recorder, and much more. While it comes in 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB capacities, this is limiting, especially if you a loading it up with video. Overall though, it's a sweet little player! Watch the Video to find out more...

Titan Amanda TEC Cooler Review
Pro-Clockers posted a review on the Titan Amanda TEC Cooler

There are times when air-cooling is just not enough. At the same time you might not want to deal with the financial and maintenance costs of dealing with a water-cooling setup. What else is there? There is extreme cooling which may consist of phase change or chilled water or even LN cooling. All three are great forms of cooling but can be very hazardous to your equipment. That leaves us with TEC cooling. The method of using a thermoelectric plate, or peltier, to cool your processor has being around for ages, and it can be completely safe if done right. Well Titan may have made it as simple as it can be with their new cooler, the Amanda.

Sony Vaio VGN-SZ2XP Review
TrustedReviews looked at the Sony Vaio VGN-SZ2XP

First impressions of the SZ2XP are excellent. With the lid closed I was immediately taken in by the sleek carbon fibre appearance and the VIAO logo seemingly carved out on the surface. So many notebooks have a plastic feel to them but this Sony has a very pleasing smooth finish. The notebook tapers from a thin edge at the front to a thicker base at the rear. Pick it up from the front and it's literally the thin end of the wedge. There are five indicator lights built into the circular hinge for power, battery, hard disk, and separate ones for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. These can be seen even when the lid is closed. The lid closes gently with a magnetic lock to keep it shut.

Zalman VF700-CU Review
TrustedReviews looked at the Zalman VF700-CU

Today, I'm looking at the Zalman VF700-BP01, which is a copper graphics card cooler. I have chosen the Inno3D 7300GT to fit this to. The cooler I replaced was hardly bad, as it did a good job of cooling in a quiet manner, and in reality it's not one I would go out of my way to replace, but this card overclocked to an incredible 720MHz core and I was interested to see if a better cooler could help it reach even headier heights.

Evercool Red Scorpion 140mm Fan Review
Overclockers Online has posted a new review on the Evercool Red Scorpion 140mm Fan

At first sight, the Red Scorpion is a beauty, with transparent red blades enclosed in a dark-grey outfit. This fan is also a great performer under the hood. The airflow is up to date with what overclockers need and is also very quiet for those who want a silent computer.
